From Maker to Market

A whole generation of programmers have now grown up with the web, where JavaScript is the de facto language for creating dynamic user interfaces and managing databases. Alongside them is another, even larger, group who have made Python the de facto language of science, engineering, data analysis, and most recently machine learning.

This month, we learned how to use MicroPython with the Raspberry Pi, create a flashing LED, and use an LCD! In this project we will combine what we learned to create a message display system where telegram messages sent to the Raspberry Pi show up on the attached LCD.
